Heidita, would "chicharron" refer to the crispy fried skin of pigs? - Rikko, MAY 28, 2010
Is it "cittalini"which were deep fried parts of the intestines and were deliscious. - ray76, MAY 28, 2010

@ Heidita: I guess this is can be called "cheese" in certain languages because the meat is either pressed together under force or "gelled" together by gelatine. I have heard it being called cheese before but I can't remember in which language... could be french but I'm not sure.
